Man City injury, suspension news vs. West Ham: Will John Stones, Ederson, Matheus Nunes return?

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with West Ham United.

Manchester City will be aiming to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League when they welcome West Ham United to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Citizens picked up a much-needed three points in England's top flight on Sunday, beating Leicester City 2-0 at the King Power Stadium, which proved to be just their second league success since the end of October.

Pep Guardiola's side have dropped down to sixth spot in the Premier League table due to their recent struggles, and they currently sit 14 points behind the leaders Liverpool, who still have a game in hand.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with West Ham, who will enter the contest off the back of a 5-0 home defeat to Liverpool.
